= Brancolino = Brancolino is a fraction of the municipality of Nogaredo in the Autonomous Province of Trento.

Description
The village is located on the course of the provincial road 90 Destra Adige, between Marano (Isera) and Villa Lagarina.

History
Near Brancolino, especially in the area of the so-called dòs Pagàm, there was probably a vast necropolis in Roman and early medieval times; various burials, including personal objects, coins and pottery, have been found since 1790.

In ancient times the village was a station for the payment of the duty in the feud of the Counts Lodron (as witnessed by a stele which, after the construction of the provincial road, was moved to the first house of via Silvestri, behind the church). The ridge above the village is said to be the place where the victims of the 1647 Nogaredo witch trial, one of the last in Trentino, were burned at the stake.

The village was an autonomous municipality until 1928, when it was merged with Nogaredo; the following year, the whole municipality of Nogaredo was aggregated to that of Villa Lagarina, and then restored in 1955.

Monuments and places of interest
In the village there is the parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in the thirteenth century; in 1514 it was joined by a monastery of Franciscan conventuals, founded by Veronica Lodron, remained active until the early decades of the nineteenth century. There is also a cemetery, with a chapel dedicated to the Crucifix built in 1930.
